Video: US Coast Guard Helicopter Training

Ever wonder what is happening when you look offshore and see a US Coast Guard helicopter hovering for hours on end? Peep these videos taken near Venice!

That is the Coast Guard training for ocean rescues! Not sure why the USCG team needs to train so close to shore: they are too far out for the public to really see what they are doing without a long camera lens, but they are close enough that the helicopter creates a ton of noise pollution for everyone that lives near the beach. I’m happy that they are there to save lives when needed tho!

Yo! Venice! was started by two friends, Keri and Bret, to create a communal blog for residents of Venice Beach California.
In today’s world of RSS feeds, they felt that a blog would be a perfect place for people to let others know how they view the Venice Beach community through words and pictures. It is hoped that this site will become a communal blog with many people submitting stories for all in the community to share.
